AN UPDATE FROM SOS MINISTRIES IN UGANDA 5/21/25

Dear Friends,

 

For most of you, May likely means the start of summer. Your kids will be home for the next several months. Your vacation countdown is ticking. And your calendar may be a little more open.

 

In Uganda, it’s the opposite! Our Legacy kids are getting ready to go back to school at the end of May, and so we thought an update regarding Legacy would be fun. 

 

Note: For those who might be interested, there is an opportunity to sponsor a child. We have just posted new students. Please help us by sponsoring a child.

MEET GLORIA

“My name is Gloria Peter Totoye, and I live in the village of Kubamitwe with my mother and father. My favorite Bible verse is Genesis 1:1. I enjoy helping out around the house by washing dishes. My favorite color is red. When I grow up I want to be a doctor!”

We have 66 Legacy students waiting to be sponsored right now. Your commitment to $45 a month is a commitment to break the cycle of poverty in Uganda! 

 

The children we serve at Legacy come from families where education wouldn’t be an option if Legacy weren't here. And those that are able to go to their local school, receive poor education.

But your monthly investment in the life of a child can change everything: for them, for their families, and even for Uganda.

 

Will you invest in Uganda by supporting one child?

FLASHBACK TO THE FIRST DAY

You can’t fully grasp how much Legacy means to a child until you see the excitement on their face as they arrive! Thankfully, we captured their first day of first term for you! Check out why students love Legacy so much:

FIRST TERM HAS ENDED

This has been a really big year for Legacy Christian Academy. At the beginning of the term we hired 18 new teachers to fill in gaps throughout our school. In an effort to enhance the quality of our education, as an administration we felt it was important to fill in some gaps within our staff. After short listing around 100 applications and carrying out two rounds of interviews, we selected highly accomplished teachers. It is our conviction that loving our kids involves providing the best education. The previous year we focused on the spiritual dynamics by improving our Bible classes and chapels. This year we focused on our academics. The end result is an even more outstanding and academically serious institution. It is amazing to see village kids who never cared about education, now working exceedingly hard to excel in academics. We could not be more proud.

 

Additionally, this year all three levels of Legacy have gained independence. We have a kindergarten, a primary school, and a high school. Our kindergarten students moved to their own campus! In addition, our high school gained independence from the primary school. Since Legacy has always added a grade each year, all the levels of Legacy were highly dependent on the primary school. They shared facilities, fellowship, and administrations. This year all three campuses have separated. This has led to major advances in Legacy’s maturation.

 

Overall, we are greatly encouraged with the spiritual and academic institution that Legacy has become. We believe the school is excelling. We feel confident that the school is glorifying God and honoring the stewardship of all of you supporting this life-altering ministry. To God be the glory! 

A SOUL FILLS EVERY SEAT

Our Legacy kids are gearing up to go back to school at the end of May, and every empty seat will be filled by a child ready to grow in knowledge and love for the Lord. Imagine the possibilities with me in this short video:

LEGACY PRAYER REQUESTS:

  1. Pray that God will transform the hearts of our Legacy students.
  2. Pray that God will help us train our teachers to be ministers.
  3. Pray that God will allow both of our schools to be testing centers.
  4. Pray that God will build a really solid leadership team at all levels.  
  5. Pray that God will give wisdom to the leadership to know how to lead and develop the school.
  6. Pray that we can raise the funds necessary to finish off the school's buildings.

For the King and His Kingdom,
